“I’m telling you, babe, I left all that behind me. I’m so sorry that it took this long, but I finally know what I want to do with my life,” Dixon said pleadingly. He was prepared to get down on his knees if necessary. All the stops were in danger of getting pulled if Zoe fought him on this. “I want to be here, with you and Aria. I want my baby to grow up with a Daddy that comes home every day from work, not one that died on the streets for a bunch of gangbangers that won’t even remember him in a few years.”

He found himself wishing against hope. He knew Zoe loved him, but he knew that the baby came before anything. Recent events had him regretting he’d ever fallen into the streetrat lifestyle he had, but it was too late to change all that. He could only control his future now.

Just say yes...

Zoe was a strong woman. She’d grown up in the hood too, just a few blocks from Dixon. They’d grown up together and in highschool ended up hooking up and dating for awhile. Then he got into racing cars and earned himself a name on the streets while she focused on her school work. At a party senior year they ran into each other and Zoe ended up pregnant. Telling her parents was the hardest thing she’d ever done - she’d lied to her father just to go to the party!

They kicked her out, forcing her to get a job to support herself. All the while though, she still attended class. She knew the baby would depend on her having a diploma and the summer after she graduated she brought Aria into the world. To this day she’d tell you that it was the greatest thing she’d ever done or would ever do.

“I just... I don’t know.”

Dixon’s heart dropped and a lump formed in his throat. His mouth fumbled for words that his brain couldn’t find, leaving a heavy silence in the air. Zoe looked at him and saw the expression on his face. “Dixon, please don’t think I don’t want you in her life. There is nothing I want more than that, but you’ve done... some terrible things, and I just don’t know if I can trust that you’ve changed.”

For a moment he pondered on those words, his eyes searching his former lover’s face for any sign of giving in, but it yielded no hope to him. Amidst the whirl of thoughts running through his mind, an unexpected and altogether uninvited emotion took hold of him, seeping into his facial expression and his body language and contorting his mental processes.

Seeing this new anger that so eagerly displayed itself, Zoe took a step back, her eyes wide and her posture diminutive. Dixon heard a voice speak within his mind, although he recognized that it was not his own inner thoughts but those of another.

Anger... yes, let it flow through you. It is in hate that you will find strength.

Could it be? Had Lucifer finally connected with him again? The idea sobered him; he quickly wiped the anger from his face and furrowed his eyebrows, forgetting Zoe for a second and withdrawing his consciousness to himself.

Was that coming from me, or was I channeling him just now? Can he... can he control me?

The very idea that the Ruler of Hell could take some kind of control over his body - nay, his very thoughts and emotions - sent a shiver down his spine that brought him back to reality. His eyes met Zoe’s and he read the fear, the bewilderment, and the questions that must be racing her mind.

If I can’t even trust myself, then how can I expect her to? It wouldn’t be fair to put her, or Aria, in that kind of danger... An image appeared in his head. It was a curly-headed, dark-skinned little girl. A toddler, no more. A massive smile dominated her features, complimenting her twinkling eyes and wondering expression. How could he ever put that, his own daughter, in danger?

I can’t... I won’t...

“Dixon, I don-“

Holding up a hand, Dixon silenced Zoe. “Listen... I’m going to be honest with you, now more than ever. I have changed, at least I think so. But you’re right in second-guessing me. That’s how I know our baby is in the best hands possible,” he said. Then he took her hands in his, slowly so as not to frighten her, and continued, “I want to be in your life; in Aria’s, more than anything in this world, but right now it wouldn’t be safe for either of you. I have something... something I need to take care of before I am ready for that. I just have on request, though... promise me you’ll wait, because I promise you I will be back.”

This time when Zoe looked into his eyes, she saw the honesty in them. The determination and passion of his words also did not fall upon deaf ears. “Dixon, I will love you forever. I believe you, and when the time comes Aria will know her Daddy. I promise that to you.”

A tear formed in the corner of his eye, but growing up on the streets hardens you, so he blinked it away. After a final, tight embrace he kissed Zoe on the forehead and let her go. With long strides he turned and walked away, and he didn’t look back. Any thought he had that clouded his will to find a solution to his problems, he pushed aside, shelving it as obsolete. From here on out, nothing slowed him down. He would do whatever it took to take control over himself once more, and if that meant doing exactly as bidden to, then do so he would. An alternative could be to go right down to Hell and kill Lucifer himself, and he didn’t rule that out either.

Whatever it takes, Aria... You will know your father.
